My experience as a writer

I do not consider online communication such as social networking, e-mail, or instant messaging as formal or real writing. It is merely casual conversation converted into easily typed shortcuts and perhaps incorrect but simpler spelling. However, that does not mean that my formal writing is as lax. It is the same as conversation. One converses differently for peers than for critics and teachers, the same goes for writing and written communication. In e-mails to my teachers, I use proper grammer and spelling, but in an e-mail to one of my frends, i wood spel words shortr and easy as I speak more casually with my friends.

I really have nothing to complain about. The website is easy to use and useful. I will probably use this tool in the future. 10 out of 10!

What makes a good blog post

A good blog post, in my personal opinion should be short enough to maintain readers' attention but long enough to establish one's point. Language used should enable easy reading for the target audience, and stay on the subject which interests said audience. For instance, on a baseball blog, do not go off on a tangent about NASCAR or something like that. Maintain the blog's purpose but keep the posts original, avoiding redundancy with prior posts. No one wants to read the same idea expressed in different terms by the same person, but if the blog strays from its original ideas, then its audience will dissolve, as it will still bear the label it was originally given, but will not interest those who take interest in the title.

Hello

I am writing this blog for my computer applications class. This blog for the class is going to be about various programs used in the class. Not really sure how its gonna go, i guess I'll find out at the end of the semester. Whoever is reading this probably has better comprehension of the subject matter we're studying, so don't take my word on any of this. These are purely opinions formulated from minimal exposure to this technology. For all intensive purposes, I know nothing or close to it.
